Thanks, yes it's my first paint job and it was painted right where it's sitting in the pics. I spent a LOT of time getting the shelby parts to fit and when during the times I was out of money, I spent time reading books and watching videos of painting. I think I've got about $1,000 in materials and I applied it all (primer, too) with a $150 Devilbiss gun. I borrowed a fresh air system from work (very necessary with urethane clears), cleaned the snot out of the garage (even tho it doesn't look like it now!) and gave it my best. I made a couple boo-boos, but nothing major. I used all House of Kolor stuff and would use them again in a heartbeat. Their tech line is the best! I don't know if all bc/cc paints are that easy to use, but House of Kolor's stuff is great for a rookie like me!
